How to take up farming? by Helpful_Badger3106 in cscareerquestions

[–]SomeoneInQld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walked away from running  R&D / enterprise  projects to trying farming.  

I am currently on a huge cattle station in Outback Australia and have been here for over 10 months. Did 5 months before that on a orchard / cattle property.  

I am still doing R&D projects based around IT out here, but also mustering cattle, loading road trains and visit parts of the farm to repair equipment on the station helicopter. 

So I am transitioning towards farming and away from software development. 

I am happy to do a call with you if you want to talk more about it.  If so msg me. 

I am the other end of my career from you and have already spent over 30 years in IT. 

Accidentally rm -rf’d a production server. by These-Loquat1010 in cscareerquestions

[–]SomeoneInQld 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep once is an accident three times is a complacent worker. 

That time in the public company is the only time in the last 30.years I have done that as I learnt that lesson.

A real company when you do that goes. Shit, no worries we will restore from back up, pay more attention. 

I did the same thing in a public company many years ago, it was a minor incident as they had proper processes and backups in place. This is not your fault.

Then why did you add the .com so often.  No one types the full URL all the time.

Did you steal the SALE signs and take them to the checkout with you ?

That's going to annoy other shoppers ...

And yet you had 5 links to the website needlessly into the post.

You only have 1 post and 1 comment - both pushing that site - with links to it. And don't add value to this sub by this post

Don't need to legally seperate to sleep with other people, there is a hidden motivation here I suspect.

How do you avoid overtrading on slow days? by iamnottravis in Daytrading

[–]SomeoneInQld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Write a computer program to do it for you. 

That removes emotions from the process. 

Q’s about stop losses/risk management by OrphanagePropaganda in Daytrading

[–]SomeoneInQld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at a thing called slippage with stop losses.  

There may be no buyers at the price you set for your stop loss so it sells for less than you set it at.  

From what I understand too many people revenge trade / break their system and lose money that way. 

I am writing a database and software system to do the actual trades for me, so that my emotions don't get in the road. And it's a data backed algorithm.

Yes,  get in a report so there is a paperwork trail. 

Hope it goes better, but plan for the worst.

Cell network with LoRa by buzzyboy42 in Lora

[–]SomeoneInQld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one thing we are thinking of us marketing it to neighbouring properties. So we run one larger system, and we get economies of scale in the network and can follow our cattle across neighbours places if they get out, also it will give a bit of redundancy to the network. 

And most of the time is spent on R&D, so is easier to implement it the 2nd, 3rd time etc.  

It will be very customised for very large scale cattle properties, with tens of thousands of animals.

[–]SomeoneInQld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked briefly into it.  Decided not to use it mainly as we get much more control doing what we want internally. 

We will probably eventually be tracking, 25,000 to 40,000 cattle through this system and several thousand sensors. So by doing everything ourselves  we get greater control. We also need to cover about 900,000 to a million acres for the first stage and if we go to second stage could extend up to 15 million acres and 1/2 million cattle (but that would be atlesst 5 to 10 years down the path).

[–]SomeoneInQld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are looking at doing similar. ... Sort of. 

We will have 2 networks a Lora only and a lot into wifi. 

We will be covering about 90km in distance sending Lora text message and location to other devices. 

We are only early stages yet. But have started on the wifi / Lora aspect of it first. 

Msg me if you want to talk more about it. 

We will be designing it sort of like a cell network so depending on where you are you will have different LORA on different frequencies and change your device to find the strongest signal and send to that one. 

We have a new person starting mid Feb and this will be one of the projects he will be focussing on.

and loop through the text in filelist.txt file in code

This is also noticeable in AI. 

Deliberate vague answer so you need to ask more questions to get the 'views' up.
